At EY, we're all in to shape your future with confidence. We'll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.

Our Sales & Strategic Pursuits (S&SP) function brings together technology, business, sector, account knowledge along with EY competencies and solutions to meet unique client needs and opportunities. The S&SP organization is a catalyst for market leading growth, shaping, and driving an integrated growth strategy across EY's largest accounts, industry sectors, solutions, and services, while demonstrating and achieving market leadership through a client centric culture.

To support our continued growth and maximize our market impact we are seeking a dedicated Tax Integration Sales Executive within our SAP Alliance Sales team to focus on large multinational companies within the U.S. market. Although corporate taxes are typically a top five expense/cashflow item for multinational organizations, support from legacy ERP landscapes has typically been significantly lacking. Alongside this, the complexity of global tax reporting (granular and in real-time) has increased exponentially in the last decade with further (dramatic) change on the near horizon. For these reasons, finance transformation, in conjunction with re-platforming of ERP in SAP's next generation S/4HANA Cloud landscape (and through corresponding, complementary technology from SAP and other vendors to address data management, agentic AI, supply chain, and procurement etc) make up one of the biggest opportunities for our clients to improve and 'future proof' their corporate tax functions and associated organizational-wide tax processes.

EY's U.S. SAP Tax Integration team (within our Tax Technology and Transformation practice) is the clear market leader in aligning complex tax and regulatory requirements with the finance/ERP transformation agenda, with a strong track record in delivering quantifiable value and enviable credentials across multiple industry sectors. We work with the largest and most complex companies; this is a space where you will be working on highly publicized projects. As the SAP Alliance Sales Executive (SE) for Tax Integration, you'll be a market-facing, experienced seller and subject matter expert, relentless in driving the pursuit of new business, driving alliance partner pipeline and sales for EY by originating deals across three channels: clients, the SAP field teams and EY account teams.

Your key responsibilities as an SAP Alliance SE will be:

• Understand and continually refresh your understanding of the Voice of the (Tax) Customer
• Demand Generation
• Trusted Relationship Executive

Skills and attributes for success include:

• 12-15 years of quota carrying sales experience with a demonstrable history in enterprise software sales (SAP strongly preferred)
• Have trusted personal relationships with sales and/or product contacts at SAP
• Knowledge of relevant SAP SKUs such as Trade Solutions, CIT, Joule, and experience with Agentic AI
• Technical awareness of the US tax system and the global tax system impacting US HQ's multinational corporations (MNCs)
• Awareness of, and ability to, identify and drive multi-Alliance strategies including SAP with MS, Databricks, and Snowflake as well as EY's broader multi-alliance strategy
• Outstanding client management and relationship skills, strong executive presence and influencing skills
• Knowledge of EY's Alliances, products, and services
• Solid understanding of the marketplace/industry, competitive intel, and account information
• Strong knowledge of current and emerging sales tools, methodologies and go-to-market models including social media
• Strong ability to manage and resolve conflicts as well as influence without authority
• A University/bachelor's degree
• Ideally, you'll also have strong coaching and mentoring skills
• Team selling experience
• Ability to travel

What we look for in our successful Sales Executives is the ability to deliver exceptional client service by proactively originating new business, sharing ideas, and bringing innovation to your clients. Additionally, you'll be digitally connected across your clients' full ecosystem while collaborating to find or build the right solution tailored to the business needs while challenging their thinking with distinct points of view.

At EY, we'll develop you with future-focused skills and equip you with world-class experiences. We'll empower you in a flexible environment, and fuel you and your extraordinary talents in a diverse and inclusive culture of globally connected teams. Learn more. We offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits package where you'll be rewarded based on your performance and recognized for the value you bring to the business.

Join us in our team-led and leader-enabled hybrid model. Our expectation is for most people in external, client serving roles to work together in person 40-60% of the time over the course of an engagement, project or year. Under our flexible vacation policy, you'll decide how much vacation time you need based on your own personal circumstances. You'll also be granted time off for designated EY Paid Holidays, Winter/Summer breaks, Personal/Family Care, and other leaves of absence when needed to support your physical, financial, and emotional well-being.
